St. Croix Evos Salt Fly Rod

One of the most dynamic environments a fly angler can encounter, the salt, delivers everything from glassy conditions with tailing bones to a brutal Nor’easter with 35-knot winds and gangs of striped bass feeding in the wash. St. Croix’s new Evos Salt Rods equip you to handle any condition. Made in rod weights 6 through 12, the Evos Salt has an option whether you’re casting at juvenile tarpon in the mangroves of Florida or heading offshore for a day spent chucking foot-long flies at pelagics in Colombia. With its MITO Graphene Blank, exclusive to St. Croix, these rods generate perfect line speed, a lightweight feel, and all of the accuracy you need to cast a Strong Arm in front of a cruising permit. Features like an anodized aluminum reel seat, Recoil snake guides, and Cerecoil stripping guides round out this quality rod and ensure you’ll be making salty memories with it for many years.

Blank

MITO Graphene Blank - St. Croix’s Technica Fly Rods have a MITO Graphene blank. This blank is exclusive to St. Croix and the Graphene construction brings excellent line speed, perfect accuracy, a lightweight feel, and ultra-tough durability. This premium blank has a fast action that provides all of the feedback you need while also casting into tough winds and sending massive flies 80 feet away.

Thoughtfully constructed in a way that doesn’t sacrifice performance or appeal, the Evos Salt sports a Biscayne Blue matte finish. Not only does this blank look awesome, but its matte finish prevents reflection, ensuring stealth when even the slightest reflection of light is sure to spook your quarry.

Guides

Recoil Single-Foot Guides - Ultra light and performance-forward, these guides are butter smooth, corrosion-proof, and spring back into shape no matter what they encounter. From rough boat rides to the toughest fish on the planet, these guides hold their own.

Cerecoil Stripper Guides - Cerecoil stripper guides complete the Evos Salt. Just like the Recoil Guides, they maintain their shape no matter how they’re bent, provide great shootability, and are as light as they come.

Reel Seat

Uplocking, Machined Aluminum Reel Seat - Ready for harsh saltwater environments and to keep your reel locked in no matter what’s pulling the drag, St. Croix equips their Evos Salt with an Uplocking Machined Aluminum Reel Seat. This keeps things light and stands up to years of tough battles.

Rod Tube

Traveling to find the perfect flat or hitting a bait migration just right is par for the course for the saltwater angler, and to keep your rod secure for it all, St. Croix packages the Evos Salt in a lightweight aluminum tube with a protective rod sock.

Warranty

As of June 2024, St. Croix’s Evos Salt Fly Rods are covered by St. Croix’s 15-year transferable warranty. St. Croix reserves the right to review each warranty on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of action.
